Pros

IBM Canada promotes flexible work hours, including the opportunity to work from home (when it makes sense). This flexibility (especially in adverse weather conditions) is extremely valuable, especially when you have a family.

Cons

Market adjusted salaries are just fancy speak for "you're not getting a raise this year." The "rating" system is flawed, subjective, and leads to a bitter 85% of the workforce.

Advice to Management

Stop cutting from employees (salaries, overtime, benefits, etc.) in search of a better bottom line.

Place some value in employee satisfaction.
